Western Europe’s sad and sorry descent started with delusional claims that wind and solar can power industrial economies, all by themselves. Massively subsidised, delivered only occasional and then on a chaotic basis, their insane cost and inherent unreliability has gutted Germany’s industrial sector and delivered punitive power prices across the Continent.

Rocketing power prices is one inevitable consequence of the so-called ‘inevitable’ wind and solar transition. Germans know it, so do Californians, South Australians and Danes.
